Computer/Mobile/Digital-Storage Device Analysis

Computer/Mobile/Digital-Storage Device Analysis involves the scientific examination of electronically stored information contained on a wide variety of devices, such as:

• Computer Systems, such as servers, desktops, laptops, digital video/audio recorders, gaming systems, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices;
  • Including advanced methods to acquire information from damaged and/or secured devices;
• Mobile Devices, such as cellular telephones, tablets, and GPS navigation devices;
  • Including advanced methods (e.g., hardware/software, repair, JTAG, ISP, Chip-Off, etc.) to acquire information from damaged and/or secured devices;
• Digital-Storage Devices, such as hard-disk drives, flash memory, and optical discs;
  • Including advanced methods (e.g., repair, Chip-Off, etc.) to acquire information from damaged and/or secured devices.

Analysis can result in the identification, and recovery of:

• Existing, previously-existing (deleted) and/or fragmented data;
• Electronic communications, such as email, chat and text / multimedia messages;
• User activity or usage patterns, such as web-browser (Internet) activity, call logs, and application usage/activity;
• Multimedia files, such as pictures, audio and video recordings;
• Transient data – encryption keys, passwords, etc.
